A procession marching towards Commercial Square (1900's). Today, this square is Raffles Place.

Collyer Quay is the opposite side of Raffles Place; overlooking the sea.

In the 1950's onwards, the alley between the two buildings will become the popular Change Alley.
Why call "change alley?" This is where there are several money changes found within this alley.

This photo was taken in 1916.
Photo shows on the left: Today is the Bank of China Building. And to the right is Fullerton Hotel. In the past this was the General Post Office (GPO) building.
If Maybank Building was around at the time; it would have blocked the view of Cavenagh bridge if the photo was taken in 1916.
See how time flies.....

These type of cemeteries can still be found in several parts of Singapore, today. Especially on land in Telok Blangah area belonging to Johor Sultan.
